“Ok, MSN is up and running, now execute a search. I
heard a sweet Shakira remix on the radio this morning; I’m
going to search for that. MSN returns a list of sites offering the
song . . . I’m clicking on them . . . and . . . nothing. No
dancing? No Latin rhythms? Over 60% of all Internet sites are
powered by Apache, an open source web server. Before I even click
on a link, my chances of success have been reduced to 4 in
10.”
